wow you have alot of video cards in that machine ^^_________________My Systems - "I suggest the whole thing be coded in whitespace. Henceforth the code will be obscure and functional at the same time."

edit: i just noticed i have the wrong MARCH option, this is amd64_________________when you're sitting back, in your rose pink Cadillac

it downloads stuff in the background while junk is compiling iirc_________________My Systems - "I suggest the whole thing be coded in whitespace. Henceforth the code will be obscure and functional at the same time."

If anyone lives near me and needs some horsepower feel free to drop by

I may switch back to gentoo just because I have enough cpu power to breeze through the compiling._________________My Systems - "I suggest the whole thing be coded in whitespace. Henceforth the code will be obscure and functional at the same time."

Uhh, why are you using -Os on a CPU that has shit loads of cache?
And you might want to use -j3 to keep both cores busy, and amd64 is pretty stable btw, oh and there's no point having x86 when you have ~x86. And if you're not gonna bother with debugging you might want -fomit-frame-pointer, even though amd64 has a heap of registers in native mode.

I tend to keep stuff that I frequently augment up at the top, thus why C{HOST,FLAGS,XXFLAGS} is right down at the bottom.
Oh, and I hate having the portage tree in /usr, thus the heap of *DIR overrides, it just makes no sense at all to keep it there.

Hmm, just took the recommended settings (32bit) from the wiki without further thinking about it. Whats the benefit of 64 bit when talking about a machine with 1GB? What about the compat issues AidanJT mentioned?_________________Nothing is secure / Security is always a trade-off with usability / Do not assume anything / Trust no-one, nothing / Paranoia is your friend / Think for yourself

No issues or performance impact with 1GB ram, there is the added advantage of having loads of extra registers available. And the compatibility issue I mentioned was mainly regarding 32bit binaries like java and flash, but there are work arounds (nsplugin-wrapper works remarkably well).
